Somehow little Ramiele didn’t even make it into the bottom three this week as Chikezie was sent home. Kristy Lee Cook’s choice of song, “God Bless the USA,” kept her in the running. Surprisingly enough, the Idol voters decided it was time for one of the top vote getters to sweat a little bit this week, as Jason Castro’s lackluster performance landed him in the bottom three. Syesha Mercado, who's also been among the top performers and was terrific this week, also landed in the bottom three.
Ramiele is a much better singer than the Idol formerly known as Sanjaya, but she has inherited his sympathy votes, as she keeps hanging on despite being the weakest link.
Dolly Parton is in the house next week, so KLC probably makes it through.
